Manhattan
Stir, strain, straight-up, cocktail glass, garnish.
Some recipes call for only 3/4 oz of vermouth for a stiffer, less sweet Manhattan. Use Carpano Antica make a complex and interesting version.

- Better with bourbon
- Always with Rye, the spicier the better!
- Personal favorite: 2 oz Bulleit, 1/2 oz Carpano Antica, 1 ds Fee Brothers, 1 bs Luxardo maraschino liqueur, Luxardo cherry garnish.
- Bit too strong for cheap bourbon
- I had my first Manhattan in The Club Lounge at the Ritz-Carlton Battery Park in New York City. My Preference: Rittenhouse 100 Rye BIB with Cocchi Vermouth di Torino - Served on the Rocks
- 2.5oz Rittenhouse 1oz Carpano Antica Formula 2 dashes Angostura
- Very nice. Want to try Perfect (half Dry/Half sweet vermouth) at some point.
- Along the Bourbon Trail Sub 1 oz vermouth with 1/2 oz sweet + 1/2 oz dry Garnish with lemon twist
- Variation: a Perfect Manhattan, 2oz rye, 1/3oz sweet vermouth, 2/3oz dry vermouth, orange bitters. A less sweet, more interesting version.
